Joel Osteen, a prominent Texas pastor, has done it again for the

Joel Osteen, a Texas televangelist, has converted his megachurch into a cooling station after Beryl left millions of Houston residents without electricity, including air conditioning and the ability to make food.

Beryl made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane, pouring inches of rain over America’s fourth-largest city and hammering it with +90 mph winds.

On Monday, 2.7 million Houston-area consumers lost power due to fierce winds.

Although electric personnel were ready to go as soon as the storm passed, 1.6 million people remain without power, according to state officials who provided a storm report Tuesday afternoon.

Osteen’s Lakewood Church opened as a cooling station Tuesday morning, according to the congregation’s social media feeds.

The church stated, “Lakewood will serve as a cooling and water distribution center, as well as a safe haven for anyone in need.”

‘We are also moving our relief workers throughout the city to distribute supplies, emergency response kits, and clean up in regions most affected by the storm.’

Osteen, a frequent target of online internet trolls, was roasted by Houstonians as Beryl swept through the city, despite the pastor’s vow to assist anyone affected.

Many people recall the church’s heavily criticized reaction to Hurricane Harvey in 2017, when some churches opened their doors seven years ago to people in need of shelter after major portions of the city were submerged.

Lakewood, a well-funded, 17,000-seat congregation located in a former basketball arena, appeared to respond only after criticism poured in.

By Tuesday, Houstonians were angry at Centerpoint, the local power utility, as well as state officials.

Houston is supposed to be the “Energy Capital of the World,” so why does a Category 1 storm like #Beryl leave us without electricity for half a week? It has been 24 hours. ‘Fix it,’ stated X user @FOWLKON_39.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who is serving as acting governor while Gov. Greg Abbott is on a pre-planned economic tour to Asia, attempted to reassure the public that the state was working as rapidly as possible to restore power.

Patrick announced 11,500 extra linemen to add to the force of 1,675 to get electricity back on as soon as possible on Tuesday afternoon.

We expect to see about a million customers get power by tomorrow, and then more each day, but it’s going to be a multiple day recovery,’ Patrick added.

Power had been restored to at least 836,000 residents who lost power Monday, officials explained.
